Houses

Wifey and I like to go look at new houses. Model homes are good places to get ideas of how to decorate and what works and what doesnt work. Sometimes we go to open houses that charge for a tour with the proceeds going to charity. Last year we went to a house that was decorated by several art galleries. Some of the art was crap but it was still neat to look at.

Yesterday we went to look at a house with the proceeds going to a camp that is ran for kids with special needs. The house was a monster. It had over 10,000 square feet. Every other room was decorated by a different interior designer so there was little flow going from room to room. I think our favorite rooms were in the basement. They had a home theater (you could pause a movie in there and then finish watching it in another room of the house) that seated 10. They had a gentleman's lounge complete with pool table, poker table, bar, and 4 flat screen tvs. They also had a spa suite (sauna, steam shower, masage area, etc.). Our least favorite room was the kitchen. It was huge but decorated horribly. Anyway, the house was ok but the charity was worthwhile so we are glad we went.
